Note 1: According to the sheet I originally took this
info from there were 4000 VIP's produced in 1973. However, the VIP's
first year of production was in 1974 and there were only 6 prototype VIP's
built for 1973. The VIP model was produced for 1974 and 1975 only.(Ref: Arctic Cat's Firts Four Decades by C.J. Ramstad)

Note 2: No mention was made as to the Alley Cat on
the sheet I originally took this information from. The Alley Cat
was built in 1973 only from excess inventory using a 305 4 cycle Kohler
engine, chrome skis, EXT seat, and had the big mouth style hood amoung
other things. Exact production figures are unknown.
